I think an ideal public leader needs to be intelligent because if we do not have an educated leader, how can they educate & properly lead us? I also think that a public leader needs to LEAD, not dictate or rule over us. An ideal public leader should be someone who can be trusted, but not weak. A public leader should use their power to help everyone and do what is right for everyone. A leader should not take advantage of the power their given. A leader should not be feared, but trusted and loved; But not taken advantage of or pushed over easily.
